Hello friends I’ve spent 50 years listening to stories about my city. Now our newspaper is sharing sone of them. Please join me at Untold London for a journey through time-trodden streets @UntoldLDN" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">m.youtube.com/@UntoldLDN

Not been here for a while, and am immediately reminded why. Have a great day, enjoy the two minute hate, and hopefully see you here again once the owner of this platform has sold up, died or just fucked off somewhere else.

@andrealeadsom What a Berkshire

The Grafton setting off on Boxing Day from beautiful Easton Neston in Towcester. A huge crowd out to see them off! Our countryside is glorious 🤩

@Lewis_Brackpool Wish this festival wasn’t so in our face, tbh. Really hard if you aren’t religious to ignore / avoid it. It’s everywhere.

I am the only Christian in my immediate family, everyone else is either agnostic or atheist. I’ve been asked to find a church for us to attend a Christmas Day service as a family. This is the first time this has ever happened. I’m almost speechless.

@Demo2020cracy @tech_pax @DrNeilStone Just to say our friend PaxTech has hit the mail on the head. Either you post your nonsense for a laugh, for engagement (which one could argue was moronic) or you are just plainly, simply, a complete moron. Sorry if that’s rude but unlike anything you say, we have the evidence.

@tech_pax @DrNeilStone Rude & niave.

Most of you will never have had Measles Mumps Rubella Tetanus Diphtheria Polio And none of you will ever have had Smallpox Why? Because vaccines work

@NiallHarbison Dread this time of year

A little note to remind everybody that Christmas is very hard for some people. As an alcoholic of 25 years (nearly 4 sober now) as well as severe anxiety / depression sufferer here are some little things that might help understand friends / family suffering (1/8) 🧵

“Tradition” is a terrible argument for anything. Just because your granny used to sit down & listen to some aristocratic half wit droning on from on high, doesn’t mean YOU should #SkipTheSpeech #NotMyKing

The monarchy does not increase tourist numbers. That's a fact. #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

@carryonkeith Good news about the winter fuel allowance though.

Here a front page is be delighted to read in my local newspaper.

@owl_elc Ps I love your thread. Spot on. What a pile of awful crap. Hurray, solidarity.

5/So yeah, I guess I'm a killjoy. I thought exploiting the pain of 9/11 family members to frame a story about toxic relationships and morally bankrupt cultural trends as "Love, actually," was gross. Sue me. /end

Unpopular opinion: I DETEST the movie Love Actually. I've seen it several times, because like everyone else who's seen it, I was told how lovely it was, and how much I'd like it, and like a glutton for punishment, I kept watching it year after year during the holiday season TRYING to find the good in it, and since this is my year I'd radical truth-telling, I'm coming out as a Love Actually hater. It's a visual metaphor for everything wrong in our culture, and should have been a giant red flag to us when it came out that horrible ideas had become so normalized, we stopped noticing, and even celebrated them. Where to begin...

@owl_elc That’s absolutely not an unpopular opinion. It was a shite film when released, remains utter bollocks today. Awful in every single way from plot to performance to message. Possibly the worst film ever made, added to by the fact some weirdos like it. Ps I am newspaper film critic

Hey friends I’ve help put together an exhibition about London newspapers and the history of the Camden New Journal in particular, at Holborn Library, Theobalds Road. Open every day except Wednesdays and full of fun and interesting newspaper chit chat!

Had the pleasure of chatting with Andrew Copson of Humanists UK this week camdennewjournal.co.uk/article/the-va…

@Independent @annemcelvoy If disinformation was hampering his campaign, I don’t understand why he didn’t counter it? He had the platforms to use Some might find it ironic re standing against Jeremy Corbyn and then talking about being a victim of a disinformation campaign.

Dear @Independent and @annemcelvoy My colleagues on the @IslingtonTrib asked Praful repeatedly for an interview, quotes, responses, did all they could to engage during the campaign. I am curious why he completely blanked the local newspaper >>

Thanks!

Young Music Makers provides subsidised lessons and bursaries for young people who want to learn an instrument but otherwise would not be able to afford it. For a week, we will be given match funding - so if you gave me £5 it becomes a £10 for YMM. donate.biggive.org/campaign/a0569…

I lost this ring in the toilets in Bounce in Farringdon tonight. It’s hardly worth anything, but it’s a ring my dad gave my mum and it’s priceless to me now that he’s not here. It’s gold, with a diagonal band of green stones on it. If you find it can you please get it back to me
